Re: Meningitis test - Was: Re: continuing saga

Hi,

Thanks. Yea, I am gonna check for both of those things. She seems ok now.

She's just resting.

I remember the rash test from when we lived in England. It seemed like we heard

lots more about it when we were there. Either more people got it there, or

since it's such a small country, you heard about it more. We hardly ever hear

about it here in the US.

I remember one of 's teachers got it one year, and us Americans were

afraid to send out kids to school. Like I said, we don't hear about it much

over here.

Her neck does seem a bit stiff, but she had whiplash a few weeks ago - car

accident.

The ibuprophen has gotten her temp down, and she's resting comfortably. I'll se

what happens when it's time for the next dose.

I know, if she has any of those symptoms, get her to the hospital immediately.

I remember a baby with his mom at a bus stop in England (this was on the news).

A passer by noticed the baby looked pretty sick. The mom said he was fine an

hour before. The passer by called 999, and by the time they got the baby to the

hospital, he was almost dead. It happens that fast.

Pretty scary. So, since living there, I always do the neck check whenever my

kids get a fever.

Hugs,
